From Desk of
Deputy Director

Krishi Vigyan Kendra is a district level
agriculture Institute of Punjab Agricultural University,
Ludhiana which is doing its best for demonstrating research
techniques developed at the university to the farmers
fields. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Faridkot organizes and imparts
different Vocational Trainings, Institutional Trainings and
In service trainings in disciplines Crop Production, Plant
Protection, Horticulture, Agronomy, Soil Science,
Agriculture Engineering, Animal Science and Home Science for
Farmers, Farm Women and Rural Youth to starts there
entrepreneurs. For the judicious use of natural resources
technical knowledge is provided to the farmers through front
line demonstrations. Due changing weather conditions we
should decrease area under Rice-Wheat rotation and replace
with other crops. Grow green manure/summer moongbean crop
for maintaining the soil health before sowing Rice and
protect the environment by not burning the Rice straw before
sowing wheat crop. This is my humble submission that the
farmers should adopt recommendations/varieties/techniques
made by the Punjab Agricultural University for Kharif and Rabi
crops in the interest of Punjab farmers and read the
Agriculture related literature so that we may cultivate the
crops in a scientific way.
